10 ways the top ten could play out

It’s always anyone’s guess how the top ten of an NFL draft will shake out. With players rising and falling due to character/medical concerns, trades taking place across the board and teams reaching on quarterbacks, there literally are thousands of ways this could play out.

The Broncos are the key in this mock, opting to take CB Patrick Peterson over DL Marcell Dareus at two. And with two QB’s going in the top five, it again allows the 49ers to get a real gem in Von Miller to fill a void at OLB.

OLB Von Miller and CB Patrick Peterson come off the board 2 and 3 respectively, leading to a slight fall for DT Marcell Dareus to six. The 49ers are now forced to make the decision between a QB with Blaine Gabbert and OLB with Robert Quinn.

The Bengals opt to go QB here with Blaine Gabbert still on the board. Therefore, the Browns get their pick of the top two wideouts and it allows Julio Jones to fall to the Redskins, who can deal out if they so choose.
